Oh, dammit. I went into Game today and checked Mystery Gift but found nothing. I forgot about the stupid code on receipt thing. I almost never buy anything from Game, and when I was after Shiny Gengar it took forever to find someone who knew what I was on about. I wish you could just download them like you used to.

Ooh, I'd completely forgotten about this! It's annoying that they don't distribute as many things via the Internet as they used to, but at least the guys at my local GAME are friendly. I think I'll go out and pick up Hoopa tomorrow.

Again, just to let people who want the event but find Game unco-operative (as they have been in the past) or don't want to buy something for the on-receipt-code or whatever but still want the event mon, places like the Serebii and Smogon forums will undoubtedly have plenty to go around. Certainly makes for a decent substitute given NoE's decision to not facilitate wi-fi use in this day and age.

One tip if you do have a co-operative GAME store is to say that you're getting codes for yourself and a sibling/other family member and they might be able to give you two. My friend does this and then goes in on other days when different people are working and repeats. He had about 6 or 7 codes for the last event.

<Kaeetayel> Go for a team entirely composed of Eeveelutions
<Princess> that's effort
<Princess> I need to buy the stones/go to rocks/make them happy/touch Eevee
<Kaeetayel> The last one doesn't sound too bad

Yeah, I do that as well. My GAME's staff are all really friendly. I could get codes for anyone on here if they don't want to go to their own GAME. Just let me know!
